ironically, the first weapon we took in was the same weapon that was used in newtown. i was the state senator who voted for the assault ban and there are loopholes in that ban. if we look at the stop and frisk and the handgun legislation in new york, their murders and their gun violence is at an all-time low. our police want to do more and sometimes we just need the federal government to get out of our way and help us rather than be in the pocket of the nra. you know, and i just want to say when i was a state senator i pushed very hard for sunday hunting. i support hunters. hunters need to know that this is all we want. we just want the assault weapon ban, the ban of the magazines with large clips and we want better handgun registration and we want to eliminate these loopholes that terrorists and mental patients can get guns. these gun shows, 40% of the guns are bought at gun shows. >> mayor finch, how many guns have you got today? >> over 300 for the first three days and about a hundred every day so far that we've been doing it is our average and we still need donors
